So I'll give a short version, I didn't notice this problem for a while because of the fact I was playing offline without any internet at all, but it would appear as if my internet when I am online doesn't sign me into the Demon's Souls server. Now this is a huge problem for me because I'm on NG+ and I screwed up my character and My friend and I are trying to play together. Essentially what happens is when I put in the game it tells me I sign into the servers, but when I get in game there are no red signs, blood stains, or soul signs. I hit select to see if it lets me leave a message since that would tell me if I'm online or not, and it doesn't do anything.
Please help, this is getting really annoying, if all else fails I'll blaim it on the game and send it back to gamestop.
